It appears that Microsoft's next-generation Xbox console may be delayed due to a delay in the signing of contracts between Microsoft and AMD, which manufactures the chips for the device. On the other hand, some contracts have been signed with Sony for the next PlayStation console.

According to Moree's Law is Dead podcast, Microsoft has been in lengthy negotiations with well-known chipmakers like AMD, Intel, and even Nvidia for the upcoming next-generation Xbox, and after Microsoft and AMD came close to reaching a new agreement, the process has been delayed in signing contracts, which could delay the launch of the company's next device and put it behind the new PlayStation device because Sony has already signed some contracts with AMD.

If the information that came through the podcast is indeed true or accurate, Microsoft may be facing a difficult dilemma and may delay the launch of the new generation, and here is some of the information mentioned:

• A month ago, no partnership agreement on manufacturing “next-generation” devices was signed between Microsoft and AMD.
• On the other hand, many contracts were signed between Sony and AMD, some of which were contracts related to the next-generation PS6, and some of which were contracts related to a new PlayStation Portable device, as we mentioned here.
• Sony's contracts with AMD have already entered the "deep development" phase, while Microsoft does not yet have any next-generation contracts with AMD.
• It has also been said that what is happening currently is a habit of Microsoft and is not something new, and Intel is still interested in negotiating with Microsoft and offering it a manufacturing partnership at competitive prices in an attempt to enter the market for next-generation Xbox devices.

The worst-case scenario that can be achieved is that we may not see Microsoft's new device in 2028 launched simultaneously with Sony's device, and it could be launched several months after it, and regarding these issues Microsoft can respond to this information, as the Eurogamer website has reached out to confirm what was mentioned, What are your expectations on this matter, and can Microsoft really be caught in a state of neglect like this, or does Intel have another opinion on this?
